Psalms 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Wealth and Riches are two different things according to Danny Silk, author of Culture Of Honor. Riches and money are the external substance, manifestation and representation of wealth!
Wealth is the mental intangible, reality of this prosperity atmosphere! Before you get it on the outside you have to have it on the inside! If you think wealth, abundance, you’ll attract the same aspects on the outside!
(Prov 23:7) If you think wealth, then you are wealthy, for as you think so you are! Why these two are different is because they both had to be used in the same statements in different areas of the Bible; For example;
Psalms 112:3 Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
If they were the same, only one word would have been sufficient! And not both! What does this mean? David states that for a Righteous man, not only will he have material wealth and tangible gold… He shall also have the THING that makes the gold!
Not only will you have the dollars (riches) and pounds in billions, you shall also have the IDEAS, the business tips and strategies (wealth) on how to increase that which you already have—
Your mental state will always think of tithe, savings, investment and giving as well! Your mind shall think of firstfruit, blessing others and treating them as royalty!
The idea that money makes someone wealthy is like saying holding a ball will make you as highly paid as Ronaldo! Which, can’t happen, thus it begins from the within unto the without, and the good news is unhaaaaa…. Before I forget, check this out;
The scripture says wealth & riches SHALL be… ‘Shall’ & ‘Will’ bear different meanings. ‘Will’ is a future tense! ‘Shall’ is a future continuous tense! ‘Will’ means it’s going to happen in the future but it shall not always be happening! ‘Shall’ means it’s in the future and it’ll always be happening!
It’s easy to say the sun shall shine! Because the sun rises daily and it’s done so since it was created! But you can’t say I shall have breakfast at 7am! Why? It’s inconsistent! You might wake up late beyond 7am.
You’d receive an urgent phone call that makes you forget about the meal! If you manage to have the breakfast at 7am, using ‘shall’ means you’ll have it daily, forever at 7am! But you’re not the sun! Even having your breakfast at 7:01am means you’ve already broken the law of ‘shall’!
That’s why Psalm 23 states ‘The Lord is my Shepherd, I SHALL not want..’ He never said I will not…meaning, The Lord will tend to the writer, FOREVER, Daily, Just like the sun rises daily without fail!
If he had used ‘I will not want’ he’d have meant, I will not want on Monday, but I could…On Tuesday! And yet having God meaning having all you’ll ever need!
(That was for free)
Now back to our subject! Wealth and riches being in your house under the terms of ‘shall’ means, whether you like it or not, wealth and riches shall be in your house! It means whether you have no money in your pocket or not, wealth and riches shall be in your house!
This means whether you’re walking by foot without fare for a taxi, wealth and riches are in your house! Tell me, if a King walked on the road without the horses and convoys, does that make him any less than what He is!
No? Good! The lesson to learn here is that you and wealth are now one! You’re singular! You’re married! Once you BELIEVE this, your life can’t change! I BELIEVED IT! And now even when I feel broke, I discover that people owe me over a million shillings!!!
Thus I can’t say ‘I’m broke!’ Yes it might not be in my pocket, but I have MY money in someone’s pockets! That’s different from being broke at zero and having not even one person you are demanding a penny!
The awesome income generating ideas are still in my head! I have embraced this Psalm 112:3 truth so much in this past year, and I’ve become so rich that I forget some people have debts with me!
I’m lending to nations and not needing it back! (Deut 28:12) The thing about God’s promises in His word is….At some point, the promise has gat to pass! It has to become alive! It only does so when you plant the promises in your heart with belief and let them grow with patience!
When you believe, say Psalm 112:3 (which I trust that you will) you realize you can be trusted with a lot! Why? I believe you’ve been practising your riches increasing by your wealth mentality i.e by saving, tithing & investing.
I believe if I’m given a billion Ugandan shillings, I’ll know what to do to multiply it & make more money the right way! But can you if it were given to you? If you feel you’ll spend it all, then you have only riches and not wealth, but if you know what to do, then you can clap for yourself!
As I conclude;
WEALTH AND RICHES ALSO FOLLOW YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE!
Why? They are goodness! Goodness means a lot of things. Among them are; Benevolence, generosity, benignity, righteousness, honourability, merit!
Wealth falls under generosity. The wealthy are generous! And Psalms 23:6 says Surely Goodness & Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life…When we substitute…into the first equation, (Surely Wealth & mercy shall follow me all the days of my life…
Meaning, even when you feel broke… Wealth still follows you wherever you go! Perhaps it’s taking a phone call calling for more of itself & reinforcements from all corners of the earth…
Walk by faith! The lack only seems to be evident because you’ve chosen to focus on it! What would happen if you shifted your focus onto the Wealth and riches in your House?
Choose to be conscious of Abundance, Wealth & Riches!
